Full fat Coconut milk or regular plant milk thickened with corn starch or other thickeners make amazing cream sauces. But cashews are my favorite way to make it because they kind of have that nutty cheese flavor
For this, I wouldn't really recommend using the flour. Full fat coconut milk would probably work great on it's own. I feel that in dishes like this the coconut flavor kind of disappears. The cashews are perfect for this dish, though. They add a nice cream flavor without taking over, and I agree that the nuttiness does help with the cheesy flavor. Thanks for watching!
@@PathtoWellness1979 Also what iron brand supplement do you take? I currently take the 365 brand chelated iron 18mg. I feel as though either my b12 or iron pills aren't working so I'm trying to get new ones! (I also take Jarrow Methyl b12) Thank you!
I make a similar dish pretty often as it reminds me of home, if you don't have cashews, you can always make a quick roux and mix in 50/50 soy milk/veg broth with the addition of nutritional yeast, and it thickens up quite nice.
Honestly, I don't think this dish would even need the flour. The residual starch on the potatoes thickens things up really well. But yeah, if you can't or don't want to do cashews, then sub them out for your plant milk of choice. Thanks!
I made this today! It's like having a cuddle from the inside! I loved it and so did my omni-husband, omni-daughter and potato-disliking (vegetarian) son. Thank you for posting this video 😊
I did this recipe and it turned out fantastic! I omitted the oil because I eat the healthy version which is whole food plant-based vegan and it still tasted delicious, without oil.
I started watching your videos when you only had a few up, and I'm so glad to see your channel getting the attention you deserve! Congratulations and keep it up!
Michael thank you so much for your delicious recipes. I have made a few of them and they were amazing!!! Watching your video today gave me the joy I needed as I also have been feeling sad, a bit emotional. So thank you for cheering us up, tell your mom I said she’s very blessed to have you for a son!!!
Thank you so much for the sweet message. I'll gladly pass on the compliment to my mom. It makes my day to know that y'll are getting something more than just a recipe from my videos. Thank you.
Thanks Michael for your delicious Vegan Scallop potatoes I'm salivating at this but I definitely going to try it thanks again and keep well and stay safe🙂❤️
First of all, congrats on 33,000 subscribers! 👏 When I started following you, we were just a few hundred! I finally got around to making this dish today, really yummy! True to myself, I was unable to follow even this simple recipe without tweaking it 🙈 Had to make it in a casserole plate as I have no oven safe pan. As you said, no problem at all. Not enough cashews, mixed in some pine nuts, also delicious. Added some Dijon to the sauce, and some sautéed mushrooms about half ways. Whole family of five were extremely satisfied with this dish, now added to our rotation of recipes. Thank you. For another great recipe, and for all the love and effort you put into your videos. Really high quality!
I made this dish for a potluck, and it went over REALLY well. I added a mushroom-onion component to one end of the long dish, for brave mushroom lovers like myself, lol. So everybody was happy. Thanks so much!
Fun fact: this is easily tweaked to be kosher for Passover too! I will be making it for my family for the holiday next week! Thanks for this! Au gratin potatoes are a comfort food for me but haven’t had them since cutting out dairy!
Not being Jewish, what needs to be changed to make it kosher? Thanks for watching! I'm happy that I could help bring these potatoes back into your life.
That looks absolutely delicious. I haven't had Scalloped potatoes since I became Vegan. It is definitely a keeper. This will definitely cheer me up too. Thank you.
It definitely is. I wanted to make something that would be easy for most folks to make during this time. If you do give it a go, let me know what you think of it.
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Scalloped potato recipe are normally fairly straightforward with few ingredients, so I wanted to make the vegan version just as simple. Let me know what your coworkers think!
Made this without mandolin. Also mixed vegetable stock with cashews at the blender stage. It all came out great and crispy on my iron cast pan. Perfect and delicious.
Wonderful! I'm so glad that it turned out for you. I love my cast iron pans and contemplated whether to use one of them or my stainless for this recipe. I'm happy to know that I can get great results from both. Thanks!
They are not inexpensive, that's for sure. This recipe only calls for a 1/2 cup, so it'll help that pound go a long way. You could also just use unsweetened soy milk or almond milk instead of the cashew and water mixture. The starch in the potatoes is what does most of the thickening. You could even make "Gratin Savoyard", which just uses all broth instead of any creamy element.
I haven't tried white beans in this particular recipe, but I bet it would work as well. Just replace the 1/2 cup of cashews with a 1/2 cup of white beans and proceed as normal.
Hi again I eventually found nutritional yeast in an organic shop and yesterday I tried your recipe 😊 Oh my God!!!!! It was absolutely gorgeous delicious yummy I can't find the words thank you so much!!!!!
Thanks for watching! And yes, it's very lush. It's probably my new favorite dish. I've eaten it twice in the last week... Few ingredients. Little time. You gotta try it!
I made this last night--it was EXCELLENT! I did sub some flat beer for half of the cooking water. This is a holiday-worthy recipe and will be liked by both vegan and non-vegan! Thanks for another great one, Monson! :)
I love the addition of the beer. I bet that added great flavor! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment. I appreciate it.
It works so well. I also have a video from a few weeks ago where I make a "sausagey" gravy using cashews. They thicken up the sauce without any flour at all. It's magic!
I’m making this to go with my tofu chicken & lentil soup for dinner tonight. Still learning to cook vegan. It’s not easy, but folks like you really help! Thanks so much. I can wait to taste these 😋 Update! These were surprisingly good! Big hit with the fam. Thanks so much for this recipe 👍🏼
I made the recipe & it’s actually good lol. I wasn’t too sure at first when I looked at it right after I took it out of the oven😅 I also added my own spices ( onion powder, garlic powder, chief spices, citrus pepper, salt)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Recipes are just an idea. If you're not a recipe your own, you're doing it wrong. haha. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
I love your channel and your such an inspiration for Vegan foods and as a person. I know you recently lost your fluffy living family member and I just lost my first pup named Lola. This was unexpected. Any words of wisdom to get through it? Thank you for being you 💜
Thank you so much! I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you so much for reaching out. For us, it has just taken time. There was a week of crying every day. It's been helpful having another pup around to demand our love and attention. We still have days when we're sad and miss him. It gets less hard, but it never goes away.
Monson Made This Thank you. I have been crying my heart out. I feel so broken. I don’t have another dog, but hope to get one soon that Lola would have loved too. 💜💜💜
@@MonsonMadeThis It was amazing! This is something I will be making my family for the rest of my life! We loved it. Topped it with chopped chives, and I did use some flat dark beer in place of half of the cooking water (because I had it and wanted to use it up). Super!
Just found your channel. This looks delicious! I just bought a bag of potatoes and was hoping for some new ideas. I like the cashew cream idea. Thanks ❤🌱
I was looking for an easy vegan potato dish and I found this. Great video, you explain things well. I had no idea about cashew cream sauce. Hope my ninja works for that. I don't know why it wouldn't. Can't wait for dinner tonight, but it's only 3:45 in the morning... Long wait😊.
Yesterday, I saw someone who heats the onions in lemon juice instead of oil. I thought that was interesting, particularly for a cheese sauce where a little tangy flavor might work.
I know that soaking onions in garlic in lemon juice kind of "cooks" away the raw spiciness of them. Not sure about heating the lemon juice... interesting idea.
@@MonsonMadeThis Hmmm, that is interesting. People use broth or water for cooking them. That was the first time I saw lemon. I have seen vegan cheeze with apple cider vinegar and/or lemon in it. I think the cauliflower cheeze I eat sometimes has both of those in it.
Oh my gosh! You’re such a gift 💝 & so happy I stumbled onto your channel. HAD to like & suscribe.. thanks 😊 for you nice presentation and detailed explanation. I’m trying to WATCH less news (maybe even none for a day).... and only stay with higher vibes for now. There isn’t one thing bad in this (I’m into toasted sesame oil right now myself) and have 2 new pans arriving soon. Can’t WAIT! What would we do without potatoes 🥔....AHhhh .
Thank you for watching and subscribing! I really appreciate it. I despise "the news" for multiple reasons and haven't purposefully watched it for many many years. I'm not sure how people do it daily. I'm glad I could help give you a bit of reprieve. And yes, what would we do without potatoes. I love them so much!
Made these last night. WOW. Amazing. No, I didn't take a photo because they were eaten by my family. Thanks for the posh, but easy dinner recipe. REALLY ENJOY your vids!! PS. Who is Ben? When does he get to be on camera? Keep up the great creative videos.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed the dish! I'm all about posh but easy. Ben is normally behind the camera, but he does get in front of the camera for taste test videos. We did an ice cream one a couple of weeks ago, even. He's my partner (on an off camera) of 6 years.
I don't know about the oats in this... Cooking with homemade oat milk has always turned out gummy and weird for me. I will support the use of coconut milk, though. Use that in place of the cashew and water mixture and I think you're in business.
Thank you! Your sweet and comforting videos are so very welcome at this time. I hope you and yours are well and safe. I'm gonna call that dish you made "yum".
Looks wonderful. My Mom always added corn to her potato scallop. You just brought back wonderful memories. I'm going to make this tomorrow! Thank you!!!
Food holds so many memories for us, and I'm honored that I could help spark some memories for you. Corn would add a perfect amount of sweetness to this dish, so I say go for it! Thanks!
Me too!!! I'm new to this life style eating and my husband is so supportive 💖. He said " you cook it, I'll eat it" But I want to make more things, I love cooking!!
When I was a vegetarian - I used to make the Jamie Oliver quick dauphinoise potatoes with cream - the cashew cream option is great - thanks It is my birthday on Friday and this will be on the menu.
A few years ago I bought a mandolin and I knew I had to be extremely careful but I cut myself anyway. Got rid of it immediately. I didn't know there was such a thing as a glove like that. Lucky for me I don't mind chopping. I rather enjoy it. 👍 Great video!
The gloves are a game changer, and they're really reasonably priced. I think I bought a pair of 2 for like $11. Check Amazon or places like Sur La Table. They're very worth it.
I don't know if it's correct or not, but I grew up being told that au gratin potatoes are with cheddar cheese and scalloped potatoes are with a creamy white sauce like what you made here. Whichever way it's supposed to be, it looks delicious!
That conundrum is pretty much the focus of the blog post that accompanies this recipe. Haha. Thanks for watching! monsonmadethis.com/vegan-scalloped-potatoes/
@@MonsonMadeThis How about "Potatoes with a Yummy sauce" ? Do the potato slices need to be super thin. If I'm a decent manual slicer, could I just slice with a knife? Thanks!
@@sarahdee374 You can definitely cut them by hand. The thickness and thinness will affect how long they take to cook. Just make sure if you cut by hand that they are all the same so that they all cook evenly, and in the same amount of time.
Let me make a pitch that you try hemp hearts some day to make sauce. Or a parm cheese substitute. They're better for you and have a unique no-oil "mouth feel." The only down side is they have green flecks in them. Still though, I think you'll like them.
I'm definitely a fan of hemp hearts. I think you could definitely sub them in for the cashews here. The green goes away when blended, so you would never know in this dish. Next time I have some on hand, I'll give them a try. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you! I don't really construct meals as a vegan with a central "protein"... I think serving a nice green salad with it would be great, and maybe even some lentils or beans. Honestly, these potatoes are going to be the star, so you just need some colorful supporting characters.
Awesome. Let me know how it turns out. 30k is so crazy to me. For some reason that was the number I've been looking forward to for so long. Now it's here! 100k here I come. HAHA.
Saving this for when/if the weather ever turns cooler. I don't think I had this dish non-vegan, but you made it look delicious. I am guessing miso paste would be a suitable alt to the bouillon? I like to try as close to the original recipe b4 I start messing with it too much... haha, although I do translate most things from "regular" to gluten free and veg. Thank you for doing what you do. You have have helped make quarantine and isolation more tolerable.
Good plan! You could use any type of vegetable broth you would like to make this. Miso would probably work, although I haven't tried it. One thing to note is that potatoes require quite a bit of salt, so whatever you use, just make sure you check to make sure that there's enough of it. If you do try it with miso, let me know how it turns out!
Do you need to soak the cashews before you blend it? I’ve always seen recipes where they say you have to do that but if you don’t that makes it so much easier!! Thanks for this recipe I can’t wait to try it.
It all depends on your blender. If you have an older, standard blender, then soaking them will help them blend better. If you have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix or even a NutriBullet, then you don't really need to.
To think this was my junior year English teacher. What a legend!

How cool!!
Today was my 3rd time making this. I am officially obsessed
That was literally me during that first week. I'm so happy you've made it a part of your life. I'm flattered!
Monson Made This Yup! Had no cashews this time though but I used cashew based Miyokos creamy mozzarella cheese wheel. Took it to the next level 👌
My husband who’s the biggest meat eater said these were the best scalloped potatoes he’s ever had

Just a whisper of curry powder on the top before placing in the oven instead of nutmeg brings out a more cheesy flavour.

For once, I'd like to see a recipe with a creamy sauce that doesn't use cashews. They cost about $12 a pound where I live.
Use cooked white beans instead.
lol same and once i bought the exact oz i needed for a recipe but ended up just snacking on it lol
They are not inexpensive, that's for sure. This recipe only calls for a 1/2 cup, so it'll help that pound go a long way.

Yay! So glad you enjoyed the dish! I'm all about posh but easy. Ben is normally behind the camera, but he does get in front of the camera for taste test videos. We did an ice cream one a couple of weeks ago, even. He's my partner (on an off camera) of 6 years.
@@MonsonMadeThis Brilliant! Cheers to you both!
Use OATS & 2 T Coconut milk .. it makes Awesome milk for sauce !!
I don't know about the oats in this... Cooking with homemade oat milk has always turned out gummy and weird for me. I will support the use of coconut milk, though. Use that in place of the cashew and water mixture and I think you're in business.
That looks so freakin fantastic, I haven’t had scalloped potatoes in so long 😁
You're going to love this recipe, then. It's such a good one.
Looks tasty. Now I just have to figure out how to get some potatoes and cashews.
Haha. You sound like me right now trying to get all purpose flour. Good luck! Let me know if you're able to give this recipe a shot.
Great recipe! I enjoyed watching - I will definitely give it a try!
Looks amazing! Will try it for sure! ✌🏻💚
Thank you! Your sweet and comforting videos are so very welcome at this time. I hope you and yours are well and safe. I'm gonna call that dish you made "yum".
That's sweet of you. Thank you so much.
Looks wonderful. My Mom always added corn to her potato scallop. You just brought back wonderful memories. I'm going to make this tomorrow! Thank you!!!
Food holds so many memories for us, and I'm honored that I could help spark some memories for you. Corn would add a perfect amount of sweetness to this dish, so I say go for it! Thanks!
I'm not vegan but gluten free and dairy free. I want to make this!!!
Me too!!! I'm new to this life style eating and my husband is so supportive 💖. He said " you cook it, I'll eat it" But I want to make more things, I love cooking!!
When I was a vegetarian - I used to make the Jamie Oliver quick dauphinoise potatoes with cream - the cashew cream option is great - thanks
It is my birthday on Friday and this will be on the menu.
That was definitely the inspiration for this. Saw him do it on a 15 minute meals episode, and had to veganize it for myself. It's so good!

Looking forward to having as a treat on Friday.
I will post in on Instagram and tag you there.
Great Easter dish!
I agree! If you make it for the holiday, let me know how it turns out.
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you!
Not vegan, Not veg or anything ... made this nonetheless, really good comfort food. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
Yummy! This looks amazing! It's just like gratin dauphinois but in a different interesting way that makes me want to try it ! Thanks a lot!
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
@@MonsonMadeThis you're welcome I'll keep watching your videos I like the way you cook!
You make amazing content don’t be sad🤗
Thank you, Paulette.
A few years ago I bought a mandolin and I knew I had to be extremely careful but I cut myself anyway. Got rid of it immediately. I didn't know there was such a thing as a glove like that. Lucky for me I don't mind chopping. I rather enjoy it. 👍 Great video!
The gloves are a game changer, and they're really reasonably priced. I think I bought a pair of 2 for like $11. Check Amazon or places like Sur La Table. They're very worth it.
@@MonsonMadeThis I love my gloves & my mandolin!
Absolutely delicious. Thanks!!
Thank you for watching!
You are amazing! so clear, so fresh. thank you! making the potatoes now...
Thank you so much! Can't wait to hear how they turned out!
I don't know if it's correct or not, but I grew up being told that au gratin potatoes are with cheddar cheese and scalloped potatoes are with a creamy white sauce like what you made here. Whichever way it's supposed to be, it looks delicious!
That conundrum is pretty much the focus of the blog post that accompanies this recipe. Haha. Thanks for watching! monsonmadethis.com/vegan-scalloped-potatoes/
@@MonsonMadeThis How about "Potatoes with a Yummy sauce" ? Do the potato slices need to be super thin. If I'm a decent manual slicer, could I just slice with a knife? Thanks!
@@sarahdee374 You can definitely cut them by hand. The thickness and thinness will affect how long they take to cook. Just make sure if you cut by hand that they are all the same so that they all cook evenly, and in the same amount of time.
@@MonsonMadeThis Thanks Michael!
Thanks very much for the great recipe!!
Yummy, makes me want to come over for leftovers.
Let me make a pitch that you try hemp hearts some day to make sauce. Or a parm cheese substitute. They're better for you and have a unique no-oil "mouth feel." The only down side is they have green flecks in them. Still though, I think you'll like them.
I'm definitely a fan of hemp hearts. I think you could definitely sub them in for the cashews here. The green goes away when blended, so you would never know in this dish. Next time I have some on hand, I'll give them a try. Thanks for the tip.
Thank YOU a lot ❤️❤️❤️ Merry Christmas ✨✨🎄❄️✨✨
wow looks amazing!!
thank your for this video! super easy dish and very yummy looking!! going to for sure make this!!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Let me know how it turns out if you give it ago.
I have a glove oh my so good to avoid cuts ✂️ on your fingers!!!!
They are the best!
This looks incredible!
Thanks!
I love your recipes! Wonderful content and great flavors!
Thank you so much! If you liked this one, you're going to love the one that comes out tomorrow!
It's all I want to eat, from breakfast to dinner!
I don't judge you for that. I fell the same way. haha.
Love your recipes! Can you give us an idea what protein could we serve with this?
Thank you! I don't really construct meals as a vegan with a central "protein"... I think serving a nice green salad with it would be great, and maybe even some lentils or beans. Honestly, these potatoes are going to be the star, so you just need some colorful supporting characters.
This looks delicious! I’m not vegan but I will make for my daughter who is and try it myself .
Thank you! It's one of my best recipes for sure. It's so so good.
Looks delicious. I will have to try it. Thanks for the recipe
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
I call it good! I’ll be making this!
Great! Let me know how it turns out!
Miss you on CZcams! This is one of my go to recipes when I have potatoes
Great video! I love this recipe. Going to make it tonight. Glad I stumbled on your channel!
Thanks! Can't wait to hear what you think of the dish!
Looks delicious! I’m definitely going to be making this. Also, you’re so close to 30k!
Awesome. Let me know how it turns out. 30k is so crazy to me. For some reason that was the number I've been looking forward to for so long. Now it's here! 100k here I come. HAHA.
Saving this for when/if the weather ever turns cooler. I don't think I had this dish non-vegan, but you made it look delicious. I am guessing miso paste would be a suitable alt to the bouillon? I like to try as close to the original recipe b4 I start messing with it too much... haha, although I do translate most things from "regular" to gluten free and veg. Thank you for doing what you do. You have have helped make quarantine and isolation more tolerable.
Good plan! You could use any type of vegetable broth you would like to make this. Miso would probably work, although I haven't tried it. One thing to note is that potatoes require quite a bit of salt, so whatever you use, just make sure you check to make sure that there's enough of it. If you do try it with miso, let me know how it turns out!
I need to make this like tomorrow
My reply is a bit late, but I hope you enjoyed the recipe.
Looks delicious!
Thanks!
I'm definitely making this! Thank you
I definitely think you should! Thanks for watching.
This is my new favorite thanksgiving side
I love that you loved it!!! Thanks!
Do you need to soak the cashews before you blend it? I’ve always seen recipes where they say you have to do that but if you don’t that makes it so much easier!! Thanks for this recipe I can’t wait to try it.
It all depends on your blender. If you have an older, standard blender, then soaking them will help them blend better. If you have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix or even a NutriBullet, then you don't really need to.
Watching this a 2nd time and can’t wait to make this yummy dish 👍😎
It's a good one! Give it a go and let me know what you think!
